The Detroit River is making a comeback. It's so clean you can swim in it. It's so clean beaver and other animals are returning. Model D's June 2 Speaker Series will look at the successful efforts to restore the river's health, as well as opportunities to explore and use the river for recreation.

The event is free, but seating is limited, so you must register in advance. The Speaker Series will be at 5:30 p.m. June 2 at the Atwater Block Brewery, 237 Joseph Campau in Detroit.
